How Obama’s Aggression in Ukraine Risks Nuclear War
"The burden of responsibility is therefore on us: It is 'to
identify and expose the reckless lies of warmongers and never to collude
with them. It is to re-awaken the great popular movements that brought a
fragile civilisation to modern imperial states. Most important, it is
to prevent the conquest of ourselves: our minds, our humanity, our self
respect. If we remain silent, victory over us is assured, and a
holocaust beckons.'"

It was worth pointing out that accepting Kosovar secession (illegal under Serbian law) but not Crimean secession (illegal under Ukrainian law) is a bit inconsistent, although I wasn't willing to believe the referendum result at the time. I still think it was the Russians themselves that literally drove in.
